Usage Problem?

[falconfighter]

What's wrong with this script? It seems to not be able to find the VOB file, but it's set to the right location... It won't work with either the VOB or the D2V.
Problem is in Line 2...

LoadPlugin("D:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Mpeg2Dec3dg.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\1x05\1x05.d2v")
Telecide()

Am I missing something here

Do you have more than one partition on your hard drive? By the looks of it, yes!

Try changing the 'c:' in the second line for 'd:' etc.......

hmm.... but the AviSynth is on D:\ and the video is on C:\... I know my hard drives :)

[falconfighter]

ps: it also doesn't recognize the video when it's on a network drive...

Try opening the D2V file in a text editor and check if the path on the 3rd line is correct and that the number in front of it equals the length of the path in characters. If all else fails, try recreating the D2V, especially if you moved the files.

np: Geiom - Terisc (SMAK comp.)

You might try:

DirectShowSource("C:\1x05\1x05.d2v",25)

-or-

DirectShowSource("C:\1x05\1x05.d2v",29.97)

depending on the fps of the source.

naw, leak got it. Wrong set-up. Question - is anybody else having problems with VStrip? I tell it:
C:\batchripper\vstrip\vstrip.exe @c:\batchripper\ripped\voblist.lst -iC:\batchripper\ripped\vts_02_0.ifo -p2 -oC:\batchripper\temp\test.ac3 -! 0xBD 0x80
and it outputs a file that VDub recognizesm through avisynth as some 2930000 hz file.

I don't think that AviSynth can handle AC3 on it's own; if you want to keep the AC3 audio, don't load it in AviSynth but just mux it to your final file in VDub, and if you want to convert it to MP3 or OGG I'd say use BeSweet for that. (And probably replace VStrip with DVD Decrypter, which is still being updated...)

At least that's what I can make out from your posting, you didn't exactly say what the problem was.

Oh, just had a look at VStrip and noticed that it produces DVD2AVI project in the old format - that's probably why it didn't work with the updated MPEG2Dec3dg...

Anyway, if you want to batch convert some DVDs, I've been using the following with great results:

DVD Decrypter for ripping/demuxing the DVDs to AC3 (audio), M2V (video) and VOB (subtitles) files
BeSweet and SoundStretch to convert the audio to MP3 (and to speed up the audio of IVTCed anime to 25 FPS so they'll play smooth on a PAL tv)
VobSub for ripping the subtitles out of the VOB
DVD2AVIdg to create a D2V file
VirtualDubMod and AviSynth for filtering, IVTCing (did I say I cringe at the sight of 3:2 pulldown jitter on pans? ;)) and encoding
XviD 1.0 rc2 with 2 b-frames but no GMC to get something that plays on my Elta 8883
and finally, cygwin's zsh for automating all this, as all the above tools can be fed command line options.

np: Static - Generique (Flavour Has No Name)

hmm..... dvddecryptor works on command line too? leak, youre a genius.

Well, that's what the ReadMe.txt that comes with it is all about... *g*

And no, I'm not. I just play one on the forums... ;)

well, I usually just use the GUI's these days... they're fairly intuitive.. who would have guessed?
